Ontario’s premier, Doug Ford, blames campfires for the fire. But, as the opposition has noted, his government cut the province’s emergency firefighting budget by 67 percent — or $142.2 million in 2019 — and never restored the funding.
Ohhhh ok that makes lots of sense. Good work as always Dougie.
who could have foreseen it being a bad idea to cut this type of funding? it’s not like Canada is rapidly warming and has an astonishing amount of forests that can burn out of control…
